- anonsivalley652 7y agoThe university needs a couple shiny new buildings and the employees need a fancy retreat in Aspen, so grad students need to be happy with crumbs. Poe's law disclaimer: sarcasm, a miraculous new technology that makes words have absolutely identical meanings in a completely humorless manner.
- cycrutchfield 7y agoI survived in grad school on much less than 28k in a very high cost of living city. If anything, graduate student compensation is ridiculously high these days. I don't see anything but money-grubbing here.
- gyrgtyn 7y agowhat year?
- readhn 7y agoeven 5-10 years ago rents were much lower. unless you just graduated in 2019 this is irrelevant as rents have in many cases doubled since then in many HCOL cities. i "survived" in HCOL city then but even then it was not as expensive as it is today.
